This is a discussion on INTJ Stereotypes within the INTJ Forum - The Scientists forums, part of the NT's Temperament Forum- The Intellects category; Tell me what INTJ stereotypes you have heard of. This is in no way an attack on INTJ's. This thread ...

INTJs are megolamaniacal by their very nature
INTJs plan your death
INTJs don't cry
INTJs cannot/will not fight
INTJs like conflict
INTJs are self-centred
INTJs have no regrets/remorse
INTJs have no objections to eugenics

I have never REALLY understood that one. Why do people seem to link us with Death? People keep telling me that I remind them of Death / a Reaper. Not in a bad way, they say that I just *give off the vibe of being Deaths friend*
What is it with that stereotype? *blink*

*whisper* They know.. Lets kill them

I don't know if this is a typical quality of INTJs but thinking in a pragmatically logical fashion may give a person the inclination of not fearing much, particularily death or the sway of emotions, which people in general do share. Maybe this has some impact on why people think of INTJs as morbid or as you said, "Death's friends".

There is nothing to fear from death if one looks at it with logic.

It probably also measures up similarly for the other stereotypes listed above.

Nepth? Enneagram type 6 INTJ? I didn't think this was possible since the 6's main problem is insecurity. But then again, think about an ADHD INTJ with self esteem issues. I digress.

Sixes who are more counterphobic are much more likely to question, or even rebel against uthorities. They are quicker to confront others and are more prone to suspiciousness than phobic Sixes. They are more determined to be independent and resist turning to others for support. In this respect, counterphobic Sixes can resemble Eights. They try to repress their anxiety through action, and in the average Levels, can react strongly and defensively if questioned. They want to know where others stand and may aggressively provoke a response from them to find out. Counterphobic Sixes are fearful that others will try to trick them or take advantage of them. When conflicts arise, they can be highly confrontational and even belligerent. Nevertheless, beneath their bluster, they are just as fearful and anxious as phobic Sixes, but their actions are a reaction to the anxiety rather than a direct expression of it.
